Create plan to rebuild health visitor workforce and recruit at least 1000 additional staff.
Recommendation
The Government must create a specific plan to rebuild the health visitor workforce in its forthcoming NHS Long Term Workforce Plan. This plan must be informed by safe staffing tools to ensure that health visitors have a manageable workload. As an initial step, we call on the Government to immediately commit to recruiting at least another 1000 health visitors. (Recommendation, Paragraph 56)
